If you ever find yourself

  1. In a place/situation/group
  2. Where leadership/peer pressure/propaganda are focused on
  3. Separating/isolating you from the influence of other groups/external influences
  4. To make you fear other groups/the outside world

You might be in a cult and should consider getting the fuck out or fighting back and changing that place/situation/group, because the point of that reinforced isolation is to control you and take advantage of you.

NOW you know aggy has hit rock bottom when a corch willfully chooses BFE Mississippi over Collie Station.

I've never been to Starkville, but I doubt I'm missing much.

They do have arguably the best college baseball stadium in the country...

OTOH, aggy has unfunded plans for the best college baseball stadium in the country.

i did not keep up with this thread since new years and since search sucks i can't confirm if this has been posted......

talkiebird is done on 30 june

here is the batallion recap of his time in charge which i'm sure ignores all of his greatest hits:

https://thebatt.com/news/theres-only-one-john-sharp-after-14-years-the-texas-am-systems-longest-serving-chancellor-nears-retirement/

his replacement is aggy '93 and here is his opening statement after confirmation 2 months ago:

+++

https://news.tamus.edu/glenn-hegar-named-chancellor-of-the-texas-am-university-system/

Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar ’93 was confirmed Friday as the next chancellor of The Texas A&M University System by a unanimous vote of the Board of Regents.

“I am grateful and honored that the Board of Regents have entrusted me with the responsibility of leading one of the greatest university systems in the nation,” Hegar said. “Our Core Values unite us and set the Texas A&M System apart from the others, and I remain steadfastly committed to upholding and preserving those values.”

+++

he was the only finalist for the job - and that makes sense as the highest-ranking aggy in the lege who knows better than anyone else how to steal our money

but to repeat the best news, he is committed to keeping aggy aggy

@closetojumping what's the word on this guy?

My first thought is they hope he’s their Eltife: Alum and well respected former legislator. And both are low key as far as politicians go.
 

He’s not going to burn as hot as Sharp and will be more likely to hire good people and get out of their way.  And I don’t think Hegar will sacrifice everything at the altar of athletics, which may be his undoing.

It would make an interesting game show.  Show pictures and ask the contestants, "Soviet Bloc or College Station?"

Everyone would win if they just answered “Yes”

Seems an appropriate place for this recent gem that is destined to be a classic 

 

I saw this earlier and it made me laugh. But in all fairness I am glad that I went to UT when I did as it is doubtful that I could get in with today’s standards. I was a Top 10%er and not a Top 5%er.

I know that is not the spirit of this post but it is a reality.

While my original numbers wouldn't get me in to UT by today's standards, had they been the standards back when I was in high school, I would've just upped my game. No biggie.

Leach was 9-4 vs aggy (69%) so I say he should be in. Sherrill was one of the most crooked pieces of shit to ever stroll a sideline- he doesn't deserve shit.

A lot of highly intelligent people will do and say some crazy shit to get people to underestimate them, then they would figure out a way to use that to their advantage.  Les Miles was not one of those people.

Read in more detail here about Sherrill’s blatant cheating in this Barking Carnival article. And reference it the next time one of those ignorant goobers runs his mouth about the “evil” tu wrecking the SWC.

You most assuredly aren't. I really wish I was unable to confirm.

Top 10 here, so I would still be solid.

So, I've got that going for me, which is nice.

When I got to UT in 1988 the undergrad enrollment was around 50k with a state population of around 16M. The current state population is around 32M and this fall the undergrad enrollment will be around 50k. Combine the lack of enrollment keeping pace with population growth with the fact that kids from places like fucking Muleshoe and Rosebud Lott are getting auto admitted, you are seeing a brain drain from the state. I think top 10% should get you into the System. The Flagship should take the best and brightest

Do you not know how UT admissions work regarding auto admission?

Not only undergrad at UT, but grad school and postdoc as well. Students and postdocs I admit to my program now are waaaaay more qualified than I was back when I was in their shoes.
